Deceased Leaves, Close-up, Image Heavy

Picked a few leaves out of a large pile I was sweeping up yesterday...thought they might image well against either a silver or gold background (cardboard, foil covered cake rest). All placed on a windowsill to benefit from external light as well as internal overhead lighting.

All using K-50 / DA FA 100 f2.8 macro WR. Some are straight JPEG with no PP, most have had a few tweaks, one or two more extreme 'cuurve' treatment.

Like Hollies 2 & 5 a lot!
What's 12 ?

Roger.

Thanks Roger.

No12 is the one shot that is not a leaf (i took out the word "mainly" in my first attempt at a title). Forgot to mention there was an apple shot in there as well!

! and 5 are unusual and excellent. Very nice. K.

The holly leaves look positively insect-like. Fascinating!

An unusual and very imaginative idea. it works very effectively.

A nice set; nos 2,6, 8 & 10 are my favourites

A gorgeous study.

Thanks everyone for your positive comments...quite chuffed as I think this is probably my most well received set of images since I started posting here.

All came about completely unexpectedly as well thanks to that 'ill' wind blowing them to my frontdoor!

I'll have to keep my eye open for the next opportunity.

Regards

Karlo

I like 5 & 8

Very creative

As the others said, the edge-on holly leaves are really eye catching
